Mikey Grandy is retiring

[Radical Larry 28825]

 

Well this fucking sucks.

 

[TankedBevo 2504]

That's.......less than ideal 

[BigHorn'13 3494]

Somehow fuck chip brown is behind this. 

[Neonmoon 38130]

[texifornia 59033]

Tom's lost control of the dang program PAAWWWLLLLL

[The Tower 372]

well this sucks.

[Katfid54 9005]

Well fuckkkk

[Mikey4 2484]

Apparently Chip Brown concussed him.

[cochamps 1887]

Damn.  Good luck to the guy.

This sucks for us.

.

[Machinator 32103]

 

[South Austin 53235]

Sucks, but I had already written him off.

[dad 557]

Most importantly this sucks for him. Secondarily it sucks for our team.

[Auto Driller 2568]

That must have been one hell of a concussion. Easy to to think his MMA days had something to do with it also.

[Bevo 13904]

It seems like he just got here.

[Capn81 397]

This sucks. Best of luck to him as he gets his degree!

 

[Bigbend1812 13060]

Mother Fuck!

[JOSEYWALES66 1857]

Dammit.  This is why we can’t have nice things 

[ButtFumble 5287]

I read this as Mike Gundy.....I was like WTF is he dying or starting an 80s resurrection hair band

hope Mike Grandy can finish his degree and have a good career away from the game time to see how Tom faces more adversity

[ousux 5646]

I had a feeling..

He got his concussion early in spring training, never came back.

Same here.

[Lhorn 5097]

Lol. Holy crap.  Good luck to him.  Seemed like a big get when he signed but doesn’t even make it to fall camp.  I hope Hand is a magician.  

[TriStone 1724]

[Dbeasy 15612]

Huge bummer

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

Can we at least get into the opener before we have to endure this injury news? Every season. Can’t wait till we get back to not expecting this all the time.

[HtownHorn 15235]

This sucks. Did both the Alabama grad transfer OL find spots?

 

It appears they did.

Yes, both went to programs with former Alabama coaches - Dallas Warmack reunited with Cristobal at Oregon, and Brandon Kennedy with Pruitt at Tennessee.

[irishtexan 11712]

This day. It hasn’t been good

[TwiceHorn 32092]

Took me a second to register who he was.  Feel bad for him, but I think he's doing the right thing for himself.

 

As for us:

 

 

BOHICA.

[Vertigo 20500]

That must have been one hell of a first practice. 

[RD3 64]

He enrolled early and suffered the concussion during the spring?

There's a good possibility he brought it with him. Either way, wish the best for the kid.

[Newy25 7928]

Suffered a major loss? Did he ever even line up in practice for us? 

[UTEX_ME 4289]

Good lord offseason has been turned to 11 the past 24 hours after cruising at 2 for the last 3 months it seems. 

[phdhorn 6225]

Meh, it's the Texas O-line.  Bad shit is supposed to happen.
Good luck to him.

Can't we go back to just having a curse on the tight-end position?

That was my thought.  I can't remember him practicing.

[BigHorn'13 3494]

He was injured early in the spring but he did practice... it's kinda how he ended up with a concussion. / duh

Surprised he didn't snap into a CTE induced rage and kill 2 of our TE's.

Surprised that in his CTE induced rage, running toward the 2 TE's to kill them, they each took a step to turn around and run away, and instantly popped their ACL's and are out until 2019.  Even after Brewer upheld the tradition last year.

[Sbbruin 22145]

We almost landed him.  Sucks, but better to get out now than being spoonfed at 40.

[Disco Missile 456]

Man that sucks. 

I'm happy they're honoring the scholarship. Our O line will never be ok.

He's medically retiring - he keeps his scholarship, it doesn't count against our roster numbers, everyone's happy.

[Hiphopopotamos 21192]

That’s two OL I had high hopes for that have medically retired before playing a down. Guessing he won’t go into wrestling like Buck Major.

[TwiceHorn 32092]

I guess we really don't know if he was gonna be worth a tin shit in a brass bucket, but it was nice to fantasize.

A significant part of the fan base was convinced he would compete for a starting guard spot when he signed. From that perspective, this is a big loss.
